Some of benefits of Enterprise’s Nutanix module include:

• Agentless deployment

• Hot copy: Online VMs supported (no need to shutdown)

• Full, incremental and differential levels

• Fast block level image backup through NDFS

Bacula Enterprise also provides a Nutanix filer module with HFC technology.

“The unique ability of Bacula to cover so many different databases and virtual machines in today and tomorrow’s IT departments becomes of especially high value when combined with Bacula’s remarkably strong security architecture and its tools for protection against ransomware” said Jorge Gea, CTO. “For organizations working to meet the compliance and governance challenges of tomorrow, security needs to come first and this is the advantage that Bacula brings.”

“Bacula Enterprise is one of the very few scalable, Cloud and Edge-agnostic backup solutions in the industry that can also back up Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift environments, including their persistent data. This combined with its security features, open source base and advantageous licensing model means it is increasingly being adopted by large military, government, MSPs, ISVs, HPC and other security and performance-demanding organizations” said Frank Barker, CEO.

Company’s customers include NASA, Texas A&M University, Swisscom, and Sky.
